To find the surface area of a box, you need to calculate the area of each of the six sides and then add them together.
The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism (box) is:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Given that the dimensions of the box are:
Length (l) = 5 m
Width (w) = 7 m
Height (h) = 10 m
Plugging these values into the formula:
Surface Area = 2(5)(7) + 2(5)(10) + 2(7)(10)
Surface Area = 70 + 100 + 140
Surface Area = 310
Therefore, the surface area of the box is 310 square meters.
what is the surface area of a box that is 5 m by 7 m by 10 m?
